This first edition of the original version of the Missa Sancti Nicolai Tolentini (1768) is Johann Michael Haydn's first large-scale church work. It was composed in Salzburg. The Nicolai Mass conforms to the characteristics of a Missa solemnis. The scoring is striking, and it is not only unique in Haydn's creative output, but also for the repertoire of church music in Salzburg. Two soprano soloists are contrasted by a treble choir, accompanied by strings, trumpet and organ.
